Somebody didn't read... ;)
The switches are screwed into the wood, and the entire back side of the wood is held in place with the tape. You can still pull it off by force, but since the pressure of the switch actuators is minimal, there's no chance of it getting knocked off by accident.

Nice Job 1Up!
I have a copy of Nults and Volts magazine that has a detailed write up on a stand-alone control panel. The author used coin reject buttons for the coin 1 & 2 buttons. He fabricated a simple switch bracket from some thick aluminum.

Wow, I thought the idea was pretty unique! Amazing how so many people think alike. HowardC had the exact same idea on the chatboard last night! But I'm the first with pics! ;D

And I did this already with Mamehac -
Man that's a bad picture! Basically I did the same thing except I used leaf switches. :)
Glad someone else feels like me though and hates to put extra buttons on their cabinet... :)

The Roswell cab used this as well.
Its still a good idea, I was planning to use it myself ever since i saw the Roswell example.
